    A little while ago Short Round had asked us to provide any conceptual drawings of the Tessa story if we wanted to. Well, I haven't had any time to make any conceptual drawings (and I wouldn't be very good at it anyway), but I did the next best thing.

    It seemed that there was confusion as what things were and looked like once the story shifted into Valinor (at the end of Chapter 54 or so). I provided some links to images that pretty much show what certain characters and stuff looked like (these particular images pertain either to Lord of the Rings, or look like something from Lord of the Rings... either way, the images are pretty much meant to convey a general idea of what they looked like in the Tessa story).


Image of Gandalf
    Here is Gandalf the Wizard strolling in the rain. It may look like he's fat in the picture, but he's actually quite thin... his robes are just somewhat puffed out from the wind. :)


Image of Sauron
    This is pretty much how Sauron looks like in the story. He is huge (he almost filled up the entire interior of Mount Doom in the last few chapters in the story, remember?). He was first described as looking like this in Chapter 55, long before Short Round began writing his DWO story... which was why when Short Round wrote in the DWO story that Aragorn was beating Sauron up with a lead pipe, the only thought that crossed my mind was "W.T.F.?!?!?" (no offense, Shorty - I guess it was just a mistake in interpretation, but now do you understand why I thought that? ;) )


Image of Runes
    In Chapter 53, this was the writing that Aragorn found on Aragorn's Sword in the museum in St. Petersburg, Russia (as Aragorn realized, the writing was definitely not Russian!)


Image of an Orc
    The creature in the foreground is an Orc officer (I'm not sure if those in the background are Orcs or not, although the small guy on the far right is a Hobbit). The Orc is clad in full armor, helmet, etc., and I believe that he's holding a small whip (although most orcs weapons like swords, axes, maces, etc.)


Image of Smaug
    Actually, Smaug in the Tessa story was somewhat bigger than the dragon in the image, but this should give a good general idea of what Smaug looked like. He was also able to breathe fire as well.


Image of a Dark Elf
    Here is a picture of a Dark Elf (as opposed to a regular Elf, which would have lighter skin and, well, not so evilly predisposed). What can't be seen in the picture (because of the hood) are the Dark Elf's pointy ears (all Elves and Dark Elves have pointy ears). Most Dark Elves use swords, bows & arrows, knives, etc.

    Well, I hope this helped. Let me know what you think. :)
